Why is it that smiling, Ah smiling
O You go, O so far away
By both of us crying
O You please tell me
What joy can ever be gained?

This smiling Earth overflowing with moonlight
With black clouds O why is it covered.

By both of us crying
O You please tell me
What joy can ever be gained?
You own inner ecstatic yearning

I have been able to divine (by Your Grace)
You carry out Your divine playful drama
With our vanity, reputation and self-centred feelings
Please wait and see how by the force of Your attraction,

Pulled in opposite directions, I just don’t know what to do
To go on testing my (love),
Putting it on trial, (purifying it) by this ordeal
Is what You desire.

By both of us crying
O You please tell me
What joy can ever be gained?
Your inner ecstatic yearning

Even if I glimpse it and listen to it
I can never understand or realise it.

Your inner ecstatic yearning,
Just to understand and realise it –
For this alone I ever beg for
Your Grace, Your Mercy

Today with this dear hope,
Fervent expectation
And wild courage alone
Am I able to survive and stay alive.

By both of us crying
O You please tell me
What joy can ever be gained?
